Junk bikes were collected by the Village Senate on Tuesday, 5 Nov. Bikes are stored in two containers at JMT 6 parking lot and the adjacent lawn area. Containers are locked and also the bikes outside the containers are locked in a chain. Bikes are now stored for three (3) months, until the beginning of February 2014.

Bikes are still the property of their original owners and should not be touched. If you did not remember to take the pink paper band off your bike or if you are in any doubt whether your bike is still in a safe place, be sure to check the matter right away. If your bike is not where you left it, please contact the Village Senate (kylasenaatti@list.ayy.fi).
